The blind item below came out last week. It’s nothing that interesting, really. Just a bunch of divas throwing a fit! Where was the anger when Mr. Canada was involved in snatching this famous South director’s script? The director was approached by Bollywood for a remake of his super-hit thriller and comedy film. And guess what happened when he came over to Mumbai? They decided everything without asking him and released the poster for the film without letting him know. It is surprising that he made his displeasure known publicly because most people in the same situation would just give up and go back home. But then again, he’s pretty famous – both as a director and actor and also, dance master!
Speaking of which… Was any of this covered by India’s TMZ, BollywoodHungama? Or they were not interested because they don’t want to piss off Bollywood’s powerful people?
Anyways, a surprise came in last week when the director of this upcoming film, a sure-shot hit, has announced that he is changing the release date of his film so that it doesn’t clash with Bollywood’s Ultimate Godfather’s film. The reason why Mr. Canada was pissed was because this made him look like the smaller star right before Bollywood’s Bhai! He actually is, but the point is his ego got bruised, especially when they didn’t bother to let him know first!
The move is a win for his film because why compete with Bhai’s film even though it might be a creepy film since it’s supposedly a love story between Bhai and Aloo Paratha. Releasing this film on the same day as Bhai’s film will give both films divided/shared box office collections. By releasing separately, they will get to make more money.
What a time it is! There was a time with King Khan arrogantly released his film on the same day as Bhai’s film and it was a different time then so Bhai’s film ended up a disaster. Coincidentally, that film also had Mr. Canada and was the directorial debut of Mrs. Loudmouth (thanks to the kind reader who originally gave her this nickname).
Now, do you think King Khan would dare to release his film on the same day as Bhai’s film? In fact, he would have Bhai in his film to ensure a better released. So, how come Khiladi Kumar aka Mr. Canada not think about the outcome of his film? Surely, he doesn’t want another under-performed film? If that’s the case then imagine what they will say about this director? That he cannot get a hit if he doesn’t cast his usual favorite action star?

The REAL REASON why a BIG BUDGET ACTION entertainer got preponed by a MEGA STAR and a STAR DIRECTOR!
When two top filmmakers (one known for his larger-than-life, grand, romantic directorials and the other for his massy action entertainers) announce the release date of a big budget action entertainer, starring another mega star, it’s bound to make an impact. But when it’s without the approval of the latter, it’s bound to create massive ripples.
He is also unaware of the quiet behind-the-scenes deal which has taken place between the mega star and one of the top directors. Apparently, the mega star has promised to act in the star director’s debut production, a remake of a super hit movie of the 90s and which is being directed by a blockbuster woman director.
Few know of the close bond that the massy director and the mega star share and that they have been in talks for a movie. The director has directed the mega star for the trailer of his reality show a few years back. It’s being said that when the massy director and the mega star were discussing the clash of their movies on a big event date next year, both decided that it wouldn’t make sense if they did. Why eat at each other’s markets when a sensible solution could be found?
Now, this massy director has been scouting for a mega star to head the cast of his remake for months. The actor of his own film turned him down as did a few other top stars. Being in a quandry and not able to announce his first home production, he spoke to the mega star about it. The star dangled a tempting carrot in front of him – if he preponed his directorial next year and brought it to another date, he would act in the massy director’s movie. The role was perfect for the mega star, being the responsible brother of many siblings and he would suit it too, so the director jumped at the suggestion.
But while they were sealing their own deal, they hadn’t realise that it would make someone grumpy. The actor plays the main lead in the massy director’s action drama and he definitely didn’t want his movie preponed. But no amount of arguing or discussions could change the massy director’s mind and the mega star acting in his movie, needs a 200-crore blockbuster hit today.
A feeble excuse was offered to the director’s actor that he couldn’t have two big movie releases in quick succession and it would work to the best of everyone (and the box-office) if their movie got preponed.
It’s interesting to note that, while the two filmmakers and mega star has been posting their news and pictures all over social media, the other mega star, whose movie was preponed has been quiet on his own news.
The silence is deafening from his front. Not one tweet or FB message from him on this one and even his fans are extremely upset at the preponement. They feel that it’s the fault of the massy director who has let their mega star down and have been protesting against it.
It is not just the silence of the mega star whose movie release has got postponed, that is baffling – but the silence of the acclaimed filmmaker, who is directing the mega star, after a gap of years, in a love story.
The filmmaker is also close to the classy director (who had announced the preponement of the action thriller with the massy director) known for his grand romantic dramas. Incidentally, the classy director is co-producing the action drama.
The multi-faceted filmmaker, known for his blockbuster hits, and blunt talk, has been keeping a strange silence on this one.

Top Star: Akshay Kumar
Massy Director: Rohit Shetty
Film: Sooryavanshi
Mega Star: Salman Khan
Blockbuster Woman Director: Farah Khan
First they say AK wouldnt want to clash with SK. Then they say SK put this deal to change date of AK movie. Who is scared of whom? Also, SK’s last few movies have underperformed
It’s just Akshay’s PR spreading rumors about him not being aware of the date change, trying to make him look like a victim. Sooryavanshi was never going to clash with InshaAllah, that was why he announced Laxxmi Bomb which is going to release two weeks after Eid 2020. If he had the intention of clashing with Salman, why have another movie release two weeks after? I actually feel bad for Rohit in all of this because he never had to back off from a clash before. I guess it’s the perils of working with Mr Canada.
What movie is SLB co-producing? The blind has too many angles!
Kjo is the co-producer with Rohit Shetty. Rohit is producing Farah’s film.
i LOLed soooo hard reading this info in the blind “blockbuster female director” who is super creepy Sajid’s superflop sis Farah (Tees Maar Khan, Happy New Yr).. no wonder so many top stars refused to act in her movie!
Bharat isn’t a disaster like the 2018 Khan movies but still an underperfomer by Salman’s standards.
It will still gross over 200 crores.
Akshay with all the paid reviews, in his best phase of his career still couldn’t manage a 200 crore grosser with Kesari. Therein lies the difference between Khans and Akshay.
There’s no way Sooryavanshi would have grossed 200 crores, if it clashed with a Salman movie (even if it turned out to be a Race 3)
How quickly they change colors?! Not too long ago, (literally months ago) the same people were doing everything they could to “end Khan era” and look at KJo now…
I don’t think even bharat clearly earn 150cr???bhusan Kumar inflate at least 45cr still film not cross 200cr on releasing eid with no other film after 2week in 4800 theaters.
You know, I visit this website only to be entertained by your stupidity in the comments section. Do/Can you not read what you write?
I just wonder why people are so petrified to clash their movies with Salman? They never hesitate to clash it with another star .
Salman fan following is huge no doubt but still I am curious. Good film will work no matter what.
Bharat box office numbers are inflated. Movie struggles to reach rs 200 crores and still not enter a space to get a clean hit or blockbuster tag so far in 16 days.
Most of the reviews are paid . I was surprised to see Salman desperation for a hit. He is never into promotions or post promotions. Never he had ever hosted a big premier of any of his movies.
Strangest part is Ali and Atul are on a silent mode totally. No tweet no interview. This makes the blind about the tiff between Ali and Salman true.
Ali was present during TZH success interviews but not this time.
Akshay is bankable. Festival or no festival, his movies always do well . His fans behaves in a notorious and disgusting manner. TO much that he has to intervene and post a message.
How’s Bharat doing at the box office?
